Yes, It Can Happen in Your 30’s

Peri menopause. Intense bloating. Frequent, dull headaches. Tender and sore breasts. Exhaustion. Unregulated body temperature changes. And the unfiltered rage. A friend of mine equated it to a ticking clock. You become more aware of your mortality on a biological level and simply don’t have time to pander to the unnecessary. Your body is adjustingContinue reading “Yes, It Can Happen in Your 30’s”

“What would you do with a free afternoon?”

“What would you do with a free afternoon?” We wax philosophically with each other. “Read a book.” “Take a bath, or maybe a nap.” “I could get that corner cleaned up. It’s been nagging at me for a while.” “I would watch what I want, without worry of interruption.” “I could solve the world’s problemsContinue reading ““What would you do with a free afternoon?””

Progress on Some Sweaters

I’m making some real progress on my oldest’s sweater. With no other projects in the works I’ve been able to really focus on this piece. It’s a fun pattern and I’m happy with how it’s turning out. But the inevitable happened and boredom has crept in. My determination to finish this soon is still there.Continue reading “Progress on Some Sweaters”

Thoughts On Gender

This is my lap at the moment. Something that usually brings me a calming joy. It’s been rough lately. I’ve finished some knitting side quests and am trying to focus on my daughter’s sweater now. I was reading a comforting murder mystery, but my mood has shifted with the world’s turmoil and I’m back toContinue reading “Thoughts On Gender”

Yes, Another Murder Mystery

I am loving this book! And yet again, I forgot I was reading a murder mystery until someone was dead. It was a shock. I’m always tickled when writers write about the magic of books. I mean, what good writer doesn’t know the power of words on paper, bound together, and placed on a shelf?Continue reading “Yes, Another Murder Mystery”

Time For Something a bit Drastic

This is pretty major for me. I’ve had short hair before. I’ve colored it red many times in various shades. It’s been black with lots of purple and some blue. A reddish purple that blended out to red. It was even pink for a few days in Switzerland. I could fill a book with allContinue reading “Time For Something a bit Drastic”

Planning My Workouts

This is what planning my workouts looks like. A couple of Yoga Journal magazines, a notebook, lots of loose pages, an accordion binder full of magazine pages all organized, and no room to sit. The planning is part of my motivation process. I will get up and mimic the moves to see if they’re somethingContinue reading “Planning My Workouts”

Summer is for Smoothies!

We bought a nice blender several years ago so we could make smoothies with the kids and treat ourselves as well. We go through swings of them in this house, and right now, we’re really into them. My husband’s recipes tend to be more like a dessert, while mine are more like a snack. HeContinue reading “Summer is for Smoothies!”

Pajama Day

I want to garden. Or go for a hike. Or just play in the yard. The weather is perfect-just sunny enough with a cool breeze. Instead, I’m staying in my pajamas and getting ready for a Once Upon a Time marathon with my oldest. They’re just too comfy for me to do anything else. TodayContinue reading “Pajama Day”

Murder Mystery Mood

Finished Brownies and Broomsticks today. I really appreciated the more down to earth approach to magic and spellwork. I especially liked the connection between quantum physics and magic. My only real issue is that there are two fellas equally interested in the protagonist and that scenario always makes me uncomfortable. She handles it well, though,Continue reading “Murder Mystery Mood”
